“SEVEN AGES” UP TO DATE.
Pessimistic Views by an Editor Out in
Nevada.
Man is born into the world. He is at
once attacked by nettle rash, croup, mea
sles and the whooping cough. He has the
colic before his first teeth are out and
when he is swindled we say he is getting
his eye teeth cut.
If he escapes the scarlet fever and the
mumps, he finds directly in his way scar
let rash and the seven-year itch.
If he is not carried off in a hearse be
fore he is too large for short pants he still
stands a show of cutting off one of his
toes, being kicked by a mule, of gettinj*
shot w'ith a target rifle in the hands of a
boy that “did not know it was loaded.”
He gets his feet wet, runs at the nose,
and is scolded by his parents for going
in swimming on Sunday. He goes to the
circus, rides on the merry-go-round and
hits the dignified gentleman in the back
of the head with a snowball before he is
well in his teens.
He reaches the stage where he gathers
watermelons in the light of the moon,
eats green apples and lays out nights.
The fuzz begins to grow on his upper
lip and he blushes when he sees a girl,
until his hair scorches. He next develops
into a “smart Alec,” and his parents
are undecided whether to shoot him for
smoking cigarettes or turn him over to
an asylum manager as a confirmed luna
tic. Man is subject to tvphoid fever.

and his own intemperance. He is beset
by disease, indebtedness and breach of
promise suits until it is a wonder that
any of us are able to score three score
and ten. If he escapes a famine, pesti
lence and war, he ’does his best to shorten
his days by keeping his boiler o\erloaded
with inferior booze. He is subject to
sick-headache, lumbago and inflammatory
rheumatism until he cries aloud that his
last stage is worse than his first. He wears
false teeth and goes to jail for getting
money under false pretenses.
Yet. when he has finally run the gaunt
let and passes off the stage of action,
the heavy Ananias for the country paper
says; “It is well.”
ANSV/ERED PRAYER.
An e\angelist tells that when he wa.*!
a boy he often read the Bible to his aged
great-ffrandmother. She was a godly wo
man and taught him to love and trust
the T ord. His parents were very poor,
and one morning there was not anything
for breakfast. His mother with a sad
heart dressed the children and sent them
down to play by the seashore till help
came. He watched the seabirds as they
"heeled around him, and he remembered
Christ’s words. “Your heavenly Father
feedeth them. Are ye not much better
than they?” He thought if God provided
for the birds He could easily feed him.
He knelt and prayed that the Lord would

shore he began to build sand houses with
the other children. On lifting a handful
of sand he saw something bright and
found it was a half-a-crown. With great
delight he hastened home with it to his
mother, and soon they had a good break,
fast. This answer to prayer in boyhood
has had its effect on him throughout a
long and active life. He has been engaged
in evangelistic work for many years, and
has been used in bringing numbers to
Christ and in establishing believers in
their faith.—From Our Faithful God.
